22、It’s difficult to hope sometimes but there are still a few instances telling us that something better awaits us whether we choose to hold on to it or not. Annie, a 19-year-oldblack Labrador, was given around a month to live when she was placed for adoption in June 2022. Annie’s former owner had given up hope and sent her to a shelter house in Texas because she wouldn’t eat or drink.
Once Siler, 31, discovered Annie’s photo, she knew she had to help. Instead of a month or two, Annie was adopted by Siler and her roommate, Lisa, for an entire year. Siler knew what it took to care for an elderly dog because she had recently lost her own dog, whom she had since college. Siler shared, “I felt mentally and emotionally prepared to take on a dog that wasn’t going to have long.” Siler described Annie as an easygoing dog. Her favorite pastimes included opening mail and sitting outside, watching people and cars pass by, earning her the nickname “nosy neighbour.”
“People kept telling us she was having so much fun and enjoying life and that kept her going, and I hope that was the case. Annie lived almost exactly a year after being adopted by Siler and Lisa. Annie had the life we pray every senior dog we rescue gets to experience. Annie didn’t just live out this past year, she flowered. Annie had an ill stomach. Surgical operation was her only option and that was never something we would put Annie through. Collectively, we made the hardest decision for us but kindest for Annie.” Siler kept in her diary.
“I can’t help but think that Annie would be so proud. She was one special dog whose story will live on through those who adopt seniors. She left a giant, giant hole in my heart…but times, where everyone who loved her can come together in her honor,will help start mending my broken heart.” Siler wrote in her post.
【1】Why was Annie placed for adoption in June 2022?
A.Because she was too old for her owner to care for.
B.Because her owner had given up hope for her refusal to eat or drink.
C.Because Annie’s owner was moving and couldn’t take her along.
D.Because she had a medical condition that required extensive care.
【2】What motivated Siler to adopt Annie?
A.Siler wanted a guard dog for her house.
B.Siler’s roommate insisted on adopting a dog.
C.Siler was an advocate for senior dog adoption.
D.Siler sought company after losing her previous dog.
【3】What did people say about Annie’s life after adoption?
A.She experienced enormous joy.
B.She was miserable and lonely.
C.She was constantly sick and in pain.
D.She didn’t interact with people or other dogs.
【4】What did Siler hope for in terms of Annie’s story?

C.Annie’s story would inspire senior dogs adoption.
D.Annie’s story would only be remembered for its sadness.

24、Dow (道琼斯指数) closes below 20,000, wiping out nearly all the gains of Trump’s presidency (总统任期)
Stocks nosedived (暴跌) on Wednesday following the fourth trading halt (跌停) in two weeks, with Wall Street spooked (惊吓) by the deepening economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. President Donald Trump earlier in the day announced that U.S. and Canada will block “non-essential (不必要的) traffic” from traveling across the northern border (边界) to control the disease’s spread.
The Dow fell 1,335, or 6.3%, to close at 19,903. Earlier in the day, stocks tumbled more than 10%, triggering (导致) the market’s “circuit breaker” that halts trading for 15 minutes. Trading is stopped when stocks decline by 7%, 13% or 20% in a single session. The broad-based S&P 500 fell 5.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq slumped 4.7%.
“Markets were quick to give back Tuesday’s gains, with equities (股市) returning to a sea of red,” TD Securities analysts said.
Wednesday’s slump wipes out roughly three years of stock market gains, with the Dow closing below 20,000 for the first time since 2017. On January 20, 2017, the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the index closed at 19,827. The S&P 500, which ended Thursday at 2,398, is just 227 points above its level when Mr. Trump formally took office.
The decline is noteworthy for its speed, with the losses mounting over the course of four weeks. The Dow had hit an all-time record on February 12, a little over a month ago, with the S&P and Nasdaq peaking a week later.
The widening pandemic, which has led to at least 109 deaths in the U.S., is prompting cities and states across the U.S. to order residents to stay home and to shut restaurants and bars and other gathering places. Those measures are spiraling through the economy,leading to layoffs and sharp declines in revenue for many consumer-focused businesses. The U.S. is likely already in a recession, according to Oxford Economics.
“We now see a severe global recession occurring in the first half of 2020,” Deutsche Bank’s economists wrote in a research note. “The quarterly declines in GDP growth we anticipate substantially exceed anything previously recorded going back to at least World War II.”
【1】What caused Trump took measures with Canada Government?
A.Controlling the disease’s spread.
B.The pandemic becoming worse.
C.The declining stocks.
D.The declining economic.
【2】The underlined word in Para.2 tumbled has the similar meaning to ________ .

B.It shows that there will be some uncertainties during the trading.

C.It illustrates that America’s GDP will be lower and lower.
